			As a young man, Norton was an exceptional golfer. At the                      age of 26, however, he decided to become a priest, and joined                      a rather peculiar order. He took the usual vows of poverty,chastity,                      but his order also required that he quit golf and never play                      again. This was particularly difficult for Norton, but he                      agreed and was finally ordained a priest.
                    
                    One Sunday morning, the Reverend Father Norton woke up and                      realizing it was an exceptionally beautiful and sunny early                      spring day, decided he just had to play golf. 
                    So... he told the Associate Pastor that he was feeling sick                      and convinced him to say Mass for him that day. 
                    
                    As soon as the Associate Pastor left the room, Father Norton                      headed out of town to a golf course about forty miles away.                      This way he knew he wouldn't accidentally meet anyone he knew                      from his parish.
                    
                    Setting up on the first tee, he was alone. After all, it was                      Sunday morning and everyone else was in church!
                    
                    At about this time, Saint Peter leaned over to the Lord while                      looking down from the heavens and exclaimed, "You're not going                      to let him get away with this, are you?" 
                    
                    The Lord sighed, and said, "No, I guess not.
                    
                    "Just then Father Norton hit the ball and it shot straight                      towards the pin, dropping just short of it, rolled up and                      fell into the hole. [color=#000000]It                      was a 420 yard hole in one! [/color]
                    
                    St. Peter was astonished. He looked at the Lord and asked,                      "Why did you let him do that?"
                    
                    The Lord smiled and replied,"Who is he going to tell?"
